REPORTAZ "Up The River" (POL, 1988)


Poznan`s REPORTAZ is one of the most historical and best art-jazz-improv and R.I.O. influenced bands of eastern Europe. Active since 1982, they went through many line up changes around mainman ANDRZEJ KARPINSKI.
UP THE RIVER recorded in 1988 and appeared originally on extremely limited cassette edition. ReR Megacorp released it later on vinyl. It comprises two long with plethora of diverse ideas tracks, ranging from complex composing to free improvisation. Very strong stuff.

I thought that I had the Polish press of this album, but I guess it's a completely different recording, as it's from the previous year, has a different cover, more tracks and an additional musician. I'll have to check this out.
